My Unpopular Neighbor Girl Has Hidden Identities-Chapter 458 - 457, Invitation

Song Yan Ning offered a faint smile, "There’s no need for more contacts, we will take our leave now!" After saying this, she and Qin Yushen made their way toward the exit. How could they possibly seek contact with someone who wanted them dead?

Pharmacist Li stepped forward to block the path of Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen, "I know the poison in Elder Qingye is your doing. Give us the antidote, or don’t even think about leaving this place!" He was not going to be as polite to them as Elder Beishan had been. Indeed, they had ascended to the top of the Jiuling Tower, but that was no reason for them to poison Elder Qingye.

Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen looked toward Elder Beishan, "Elder Beishan, is this your so-called sincerity?"

Elder Beishan stepped forward with an apologetic smile toward Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen, "I acknowledge that Elder Qingye was at fault first this time. Once you save her, I will make things clear to her, and I believe she won’t treat both of you that way in the future." Although he said this, he wasn’t sure himself. Given Elder Qingye’s temperament, if she found out that the poison was from Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen, she would definitely not let them off.

Song Yan Ning laughed sarcastically, "We don’t have an antidote." Did he think they were three-year-olds? They hadn’t done anything to Elder Qingye, yet she had already intended to kill them. If she knew they were the ones behind the poisoning, could she really let bygones be bygones?

Pharmacist Li snorted coldly, clearly disbelieving.

Elder Beishan pondered for a moment, "You both should leave first." Since Song Yan Ning stated they didn’t have the antidote, it wasn’t proper to pressure them further. Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen were the individuals they had been waiting for thousands of years, and if they offended them, it could result in them unwilling to break the barrier between heaven and earth for their benefit, which would be a loss greater than the gain. As for Elder Qingye, he could only silently apologize to her in his heart.

Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen proceeded to walk outside.

"Elder Beishan, if they leave, Elder Qingye won’t survive," Pharmacist Li said angrily, looking at Elder Beishan.

Elder Beishan shifted his gaze toward Pharmacist Li, "Do you want to ascend? They are our only hope for ascension right now. If we force them to give us the antidote, they will certainly harbor grudges. Do you think they will still help us break the barrier between heaven and earth?" Compared to the chance of ascension, everything else was trivial in his eyes.

Pharmacist Li fell silent. He had been pursuing the Dao for over five thousand years. Ever since he reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, he longed for ascension constantly; unfortunately, the barrier between heaven and earth was sealed, and they couldn’t even manage to make a crack in it, let alone open it.

After a long while, Pharmacist Li finally spoke, "Perhaps they are also unable to break the barrier between heaven and earth." If so many of them couldn’t do it, how could two kids who were not fully grown manage?

"Now all we can do is wait for them to grow up," said Elder Beishan with a sigh. "We don’t have the luxury of time to wait for someone else." Though they were cultivators, they too had lifespan limits. Once their time was up, they had to follow the fate decreed by heaven.

"Let’s go, let’s see how Elder Qingye is doing," Elder Beishan said, stepping out of the reception hall and heading toward Elder Qingye’s residence.

Seeing Elder Beishan and Pharmacist Li leave, the other elders also stood up to follow. They had been completely confused about the situation, afraid that speaking up would make things worse, so they had endured and remained silent.

"Elder Beishan, Pharmacist Li, what exactly happened? What’s wrong with Elder Qingye?"

"Elder Qingye has been poisoned, and now I can’t cure her," Pharmacist Li said with a sigh. After so many years devoted to the Alchemy Dao, he felt ashamed that he couldn’t even neutralize a poison.

"What kind of poison can’t even you cure?" The crowd looked at Pharmacist Li in surprise. He was a Level 6 Alchemist!

Pharmacist Li let out a bitter laugh and shook his head, "I don’t know." If he could cure it, why would he ever need to offend Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let’s not ask anymore questions, we shall see for ourselves when we visit her," Elder Beishan said, inwardly admiring the person who had administered the poison. After all, Elder Qingye was a Tribulation Crossing Stage Cultivator - to poison someone of her caliber was something not even he could achieve.

Song Yan Ning opened her eyes and saw that it was already bright outside. She checked her phone for the date and realized that she had been in the Emperor Realm for over a month.

After getting up and freshening up, she planned to go to school today.

"Xiao Ning, come have breakfast," Qin Yushen called out with a smile as he saw Song Yan Ning coming out of her room.

With a slight smile, Song Yan Ning sat beside Qin Yushen and ate a Spirit Fruit he handed to her, "I’m planning to go to school today. It’s about time for midterms." She had promised the principal that she wouldn’t miss her exams.

Qin Yushen nodded, "I’ll take you." It was time he visited the company anyway.

Principal Zhang was in the middle of a morning meeting when his cellphone on the desk rang. He glanced at the number and, seeing it was unfamiliar, dismissed the call with a swipe of his finger.

"Please continue," Principal Zhang said to the teacher who was speaking.

At that moment, the office phone started ringing again.

Principal Zhang frowned, nodded apologetically towards everyone, and walked aside to answer the phone, "This is Zhang Mosheng."

"Hello Principal Zhang! This is Dean Liu from the Traditional Medicine Hospital. May I ask if Song Yan Ning is a student at your school?"

Principal Zhang was slightly stunned, "Yes, she is."

"I’d like to invite Song Yan Ning to join our medical team. We’re going overseas to participate in a competition, and there happens to be one spot available."

"Dean Liu, Song Yan Ning is only a high school student," Principal Zhang felt Dean Liu might have made a mistake.

"I’m aware, but Song Yan Ning’s medical skill is exceptional. I have great confidence in her. Did you know? Our hospital had a critically ill patient for whom the doctors had already issued the last critical illness notice, but Song Yan Ning cured him," Dean Liu said excitedly. He wouldn’t believe it himself if he wasn’t so familiar with the patient’s condition - Song Yan Ning’s medical skills were indeed that high.

"Really?" Principal Zhang asked incredulously.

"It’s true. Principal Zhang, please pass the message to Song Yan Ning. I will personally visit your school this afternoon."

Principal Zhang slowly hung up the phone, still somewhat disbelieving Dean Liu’s words. How could Song Yan Ning have medical skills, and exceptional ones at that? She was only seventeen!

Mo Xier’s eyes lit up as she saw Song Yan Ning enter the classroom. She quickly stood up and approached Song Yan Ning, "Song Yan Ning, you finally came to school. I thought you were not coming," she said. She had been longing for Song Yan Ning to come to school, but every day, Song Yan Ning’s seat remained empty.
